Moon close to horizon, so make sure you have free sight to East-northeast.
Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see.		Map direction East-northeast 75°

How to use altitude & direction to find in the sky

The curvature of the shadow's path and the apparent rotation of the Moon's disk is due to the Earth's rotation.

During this penumbral lunar eclipse, the Earth's main shadow does not cover the Moon. As the Earth's shadow (umbra) misses the Moon during a penumbral lunar eclipse, there are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears partially or totally eclipsed during this event. A penumbral lunar eclipse can be a bit hard to see as the shadowed part is only a little bit fainter than the rest of the Moon.

Cloud Coverage (Feb 24)

In the past, this day was cloudy 82% of the time (since 2000).
